Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Frequency = 100000
- Filter Resonant Frequency = 1000000
- Series Damping Resistance = 0.5
- Characteristic Impedance = 50
Expected Result:
- Insertion Loss = 0.087295000268095
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Insertion Loss = 0.087295000268095 dB.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
insertion loss = -20 * log(sqrt((1 - pow(frequency / filter resonant frequency, 2)) * (1 - pow(frequency / filter resonant frequency, 2)) + pow(frequency / filter resonant frequency * (series damping resistance / (2 * characteristic impedance)), 2))) / log(10)Insertion Loss.
